Owain Windling Gets Married
With all of the aliens, and subsequently all of first bloodline's fourth generation, out of the house, it was finally time for second bloodline to start. It's been awhile since I wrote about second bloodline, so I'll bring you up to speed. Owain Windling is the third generation, second bloodline's heir. He is the youngest of ten children. His older siblings are Katharina, Belarius, Remus, Olivia, Anubis, Orestes, Ourania, Orion and Ptah. His parents, of course, were Venus and Gawain Windling. He is about to get married, to a rather unwilling love of his, Adriana, a former grocery clerk.
"Oh, God, what have I gotten myself into?"
The next morning it was time for my heir and his spouse-to-be to get married.
"Well, here I go..."
Before my poor simmies knew it I had them under a wedding arch. There was no going back now. I just hoped that their apparent mild loathing for each other would at least melt into general apathy or else this was going to be an uncomfortably long marriage.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're looking hot today, baby's mama!" "Please don't call me that."
For better or for worse, Adriana was now a Windling, with all that entailed.
"What a motley crew."
While the rest of the Windlings mulled around in the pews I had Owain and Adriana head over to cut the cake.
"Can't those people get it together for one second?"
Actually they couldn't. Right as the ceremony was about to start I heard the noise made when someone drops into aspirational failure. After frantically checking my heir and his spouse and seeing their levels were fine I continued with the wedding. Well as soon as the ceremony was over Vulcan pointed out what it was that made somebody have a minor melt down. Bugs. The trash can had been kicked over the night before but I had cleaned it up and thought no more of it. While Owain and Adriana cut the cake I had Mercury hop on his cell and call the exteriminator.
"Nasty bugs! Take that! And, that!"
I wasn't sure who freaked out over the bugs, but I got a feeling I was about to find out. Meanwhile Owain, Adriana, Evander (Owain's cousin) and Michelle Kearny sat down and ate cake.
"Resist temptation. Do not throw cake at the bride. Oh, that little..."
Over at the other table Mercury, Nimue and Orion were attempting to make light conversation.
"So... how long do you think it will be before they drop the pretense and go at it like cats and dogs?" "Owain and Adriana?" "I think she means Adriana and Michelle."
Now it was time for the toasts.
"A toast to my beautiful, darling wife, Adriana..."
"...may we have lots and lots of beautiful babies together!" "I don't recall agreeing to that."
Vulcan returned from spraying bugs in time for the second toast, and guess who showed up with him? I thought Nereus had turned down the invite for some reason, but he just decided he was going to show up late. Skipped the ceremony, skipped the reception, Nereus showed up just in time for the alcohol.
"Hey, I'm not even the heir, so what does it matter?"
Next the guests had a few toasts of their own to propose.
"Here's to you, Owain, hopefully you'll have a long fruitful marriage before you wife finds some way to off you and make it look like an accident." "Huh?"
"To our lovely legacy couple, Owain and Adriana may you have a... an exterminator truck?!"
Next the guests began tapping their glasses hoping to see a legacy kiss. Needless to say Michelle was not pleased.
"Oh-oh! That little-!"
Between Michelle's animosity, Adriana's uncertainty and Owain's sudden fear of his new wife, not to mention the bugs on the front sidwalk and the exterminator walking around, it all became too much for our fourth generation, first bloodline heir.
"Why, hello Professor Beach Ball!"
Nereus attempted to smoothly cover for his sister.
"Don't mind my sister, she's just, uh, practicing! Yeah, for the, uh, play she's going to be in where she spends time talking to her father's... beach ball, don't pay her any mind."
After all the toasting, which my Sims got pretty carried away with - the Windlings are alcoholics, every last one of them - they all need to pee pretty badly. Most of them made it just fine. It's just that Mercury has this shuffle thing he does and it takes him a really long time to get anywhere. This time it turns out that he just couldn't make it.
"Oh no, and at a party too! How embarrasing."
The wedding turned out to be a roof raiser, irregardless of all the problems it had.
"Finally! I'm out of here."
"Well, I didn't think this through, now, did I?"
I think that through the course of the wedding they finally grew on each other. There was a lot less glaring or blank stares and a lot more smiles going on by the time the wedding night occured.
"Maybe this will work out after all."
It was just to fulfill wants though, as soon as they got out of bed afterwards I sent them to get dressed again and had Owain head to the phone to make the call to adopt their first child.
Points Earned: None.

LOL, poor Nimue. I love the Michelle and Adrianna glaring, it had me cracking up.
